Honda Insight Automotive Batteries

All hybrid cars, with their highly attractive MPG and emission ratings, have a couple of disadvantages. The need to use a heavy, expensive, and not very durable battery pack is the major one. Just like the batteries in cell phones or laptops, drive batteries lose their capacity as a result of intensive use. Although it’s not as critical as with pure electric vehicles, the battery that is unable to accumulate electric charge makes a hybrid vehicle technology pointless. The system whose main advantage is the use of the energy that is otherwise just wasted loses the means to store this energy. Effectively, it transforms your Honda Insight into the Fit with increased weight, poor dynamics, and cramped cabin.

The replacement of the old, deteriorated battery makes sense. Apart from normal degradation, drive battery packs are susceptible to overheating. Although modern cooling systems and software address the issue, it is quite spread with the older generations of the technology. Unlike the 12V battery that you can replace yourself, the replacement of the pack cannot be done without a visit to the service station that specializes in this sort of works. In our assortment of Honda Insight batteries, you can find premium-quality replacements for both 100V packs and 12V batteries.
